Interesting fact
The Triens coin was used in ancient Rome and was equivalent to one-third of a Roman As, which was the standard unit of currency at the time. The Triens was made of bronze and had a distinctive design that featured a prow of a ship on the obverse (front) side, and a rooster on the reverse (back) side. The use of the Triens coin dates back to the Roman Republic era, specifically between 301 BC and 201 BC. It's fascinating to think that this coin was used in everyday transactions over 2,000 years ago!
